Meeting Party

The Meeting Party was a conservative political party in Antwerp, Belgium that was active from 1862 to 1872. The party was named for the protest meetings held by those opposed to the pro-French government, and the anti-militarist and pro-suffrage party had a majority in the city of Antwerp for years. The party merged into the Catholic Party of Belgium after Belgium succeeded in avoiding entry into the Franco-Prussian War.
